Brain Stimulation: Improved Methods and Promising Results
Join us for "Brain Stimulation: Improved Methods and Promising Results" webcast
http://www.softconference.com/WebcastSystem/webcast.aspx?WebcastID=67&sessionID=408083
Session Description:
Electrical stimulation of specific brain regions holds immense promise for improving memory and treating chronic pain, depression, and movement disorders such as dyskinesia, a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. Scientists will present encouraging results from brain stimulation studies in humans and nonhuman primates as well as improved methods for transcranial focused ultrasound and deep brain stimulation, and a new technique for monitoring and adjusting how much stimulation is applied to the brain.
